Handguns may not be the best choice of weapons for personal defense; however, they may be the only choice available at the time of a violent confrontation. Handguns are small enough to conceal and as such, one should possess the skills to effectively defend themselves and loved ones with a handgun if needed.

Each course builds on the other -the complexity of the techniques and level of detail increases with experience. After successful completion of any of the following courses, students will be prepared and more confident to defend themselves and their families if needed. Shooting with movement, manipulation skills, cover & concealment, and communication are covered in varying depths dependent upon the class’s skill level. Semi-auto pistols or revolvers are equally welcome in our classes.
